display a timer for the personal breaks

I got a personal break for the first time right after the new update. Raids were great so I guess I played longer than usual.

I get the time out after 3h but I think it is completely counterproductive the way it is now.

When you see the message, you start reloading after 1 minute.

It's not really a "break" when your first reaction is to try and get online asap. So I know those are signs of a game addiction (lol) but let's be honest: it's what happens, even for someone who gets this message only once or twice a year.

The "break" would be more effective if there was a countdown timer. If it says "8 more minutes", no one will try the first 7 minutes and they will actually take a break.

Another issue I have with the current system is that you're punished if you just bought a boost. I gemmed 1 barack , 1 hero and 1spell fact and now that I got my personal break, I lost at least a quarter of its "worth". Idc too much about the few gems lost but it's the principle: you bought something that you can't use. I know you could argue that it's not smart to buy a boost after 2,5 hours of playing but that's an invalid argument because I honestly didn't play 2,5 h non stop (had lunch, watched tv , ...) so you're not always aware how long the server thinks it saw you online.

#end of rant, now give me my gems back!

I think this would be a good idea and would be useful to give people a warning about when the personal break is about to kick them off the game.

During my entire Lifetime in Clash, I've only hit the 6 Hour Limit once, but I'll probably hit it multiple times now because the time needed to reach it has been cut in half. This idea would be useful to tell me when those 3 Hours will be up.

ugh, so I got two breaks, waited them out and kept attacking.

I never got attacked or I didn't get a shield during the break times so of course I did 2 more attacks.

But then I get another message saying I got mutliple breaks but didn't get a shield (how is THAt my fault?). Then it suggests something like "try increasing your cup count and protect your townhall"

My town hall is ultra protected, maybe THAT's why I don't get a shield lol

And why do they bring up throphee count? I think it's ok to be in gold league as TH9.

In conclusions, I'm for the personal break system but I think it still needs some major tweaking (detect actual playtime better and display it to the players + make sure they know in advance + put a timer during the break so people don't freak out extra hard and actually take a break)

So does it give a time on your iOS notifications?

not as far as I can tell.

All I see is a black box with the text when trying to load coc

The same exact thing happened to me! I wasn't even paying attention to how long I had been on but I had just gemmed all my barracks and heroes, then I get that red message across my screen lol.
Also I recently got a message saying that I should increase my trophy count. Sorry but supercell shouldn't be telling me how to play the game. If wall prices weren't so high I wouldn't have to farm down in silver-gold league lol. But in all seriousness ive had this game for a few years now but with supercell putting me in timeout may ruin the game for me.
